Question

To fit in an existing frame, the length, x, of a piece of glass must be longer than 12 cm but not longer than 12.2 cm. Which inequality can be used to represent the lengths of the glass that will fit in the frame? 12 < x ≤ 12.2 12 > x ≤ 12.2 x > 12 or x ≤ 12.2 x < 12 or x ≤ 12.2

Answer 1

The answer is A) 12 < x ≤ 12.2

Answer 2

The inequality that will represent the length of the glass that will fit in the frame is:

12 < x ≤ 12.2

Explanation:

We are given that:

To fit in an existing frame, the length, x, of a piece of glass must be longer than 12 cm but not longer than 12.2 cm.

It means that the length has to be strictly greater than 12 cm but less than or equal to 12.2 cm.

Hence, the inequality that can be used to represent the lengths of the glass that will fit in the frame is:

12 < x ≤ 12.2
